Comparison and contrast paragraph

An Educational Debate

There has been an ongoing debate to see which is better: a student centered class, or a professor centered class; however, in terms of understanding  the topics, memorizing facts, and sharing different opinions, a student centered class shows, again and again, a clear advantage when compared to a teacher centered class.  Regarding how well a topic is understood, student centered classes are the most viable option to choose to manage a class. A successful class is based on students’ feedback. This is because students are the ones being evaluated. In the event that students are not clear in any subject, they are entitled to ask questions as much as they want in order to be understood.  Teacher centered classes do not invest time in this field. Teachers impart their class in a monotonous way, not caring if the contents are fully understood or not. Regarding memorizing facts, students centered classes offer the time to practice difficult topics along with the professor, thus, delivering a better performance on exams. Professor centered classes do not bother to include practice in their classes. This kind of approach pretends that students should seek additional assistance such as private tutors or online resources. Concerning to opinions from students, these are essential for improving the class settings. When students are the center of the class, they will not be afraid to speak their minds, they know the class belong to them, and they will not be held back from whatever they want to say. In a professor centered class, the teacher acts as a dictator, establishing a set of rules that can not be changed. Although this teacher may have put some thought into this set of rules, not every student will find those rules as fare. To sum up, students do not appreciate how succinct and uncomfortable a teacher centered class is. Conversely, students will be more than happy to participate in a student centered class because of the time invested in on them. That is why a student centered class has the right arguments to deliver a better learning experience over a professor centered class.

Cause and effect paragraph

Engiaging Students to Learn.

         It is of great importance for a professor to identify the reasons why a student get interested in learning; one is because students have received some inspiration, other is because the environment in which students are learning is appealing to them, and the other is that, through personal experiences, their views and mindsets change. The inspiration can be worked out with the help of a professor through dialogue. This is a dialogue in which students are presented with reasons why learning is important. If a professor is able to cause some sense of wonder or curiosity to the student, then our goal effect will be met. Said in other way: once students have motives to learn, they would not see learning as a hindrance. Another cause is the environment in which students learn. The atmosphere surrounding the students may have a huge impact in the learning process. A proper environment  is the catalyst when it comes about studying, meaning that an atmosphere in which students feel comfortable, they will be more prompt to take the initiative of paying attention to the subject of study. It is worth notice that for students lacking motivation, a proper environment means that learning is not that arduous chore. A final cause has to do with students themselves. Personal experiences shapes student's perception and, it is through  experiences,  that they get engaged  in matters that have relation to those experiences. Ultimately, students have the last stand when it comes to learning. If they do not have the will, they will not put a conscious effort to learn. There lies the key to induce students in the learning process. Professors are in the need to recognise why a student would want to learn. Once acknowledged the fact that inspiring talks, environment, and experiences play a huge role in the learning process, professors can  depart from that knowledge to impart their lessons.

Expository Paragraph

Teaching Using Cellphones

There is an easy way to make students use their cellphones smartly, thus, keep them from using their cellphones for unrelated purposes. First, ask every student’s email account; a Gmail account will work, as well for the UNA’s email account. Next step is to create a Drive: this is an online tool to share any type of file you want. In order to create one, you have to sign up for your own a google account. This account will enable you to access the drive. Once in Drive, you will upload all the material you see suitable for the course. Even if you have no files, you are able to create documents and presentations right there on Drive. Now, for students to be able to access the content, you will share those files with your students’ accounts. In order to do that, you click on all your files you want, then, select the “Share” button. A window will show up, here, you will write the email addresses you collected from your students. Click on the “Done” button when you have finish, and the Drive has been created. For now on, whenever a presentation is shown on the classroom, students can access the material on the slides. This is helpful if the video beam does not expands large enough, and also, the professor can take advantage of this by asking students to read out loud, so they take part in class on a moment’s notice.
